    About this ebook

    You're a developer who knows nothing about ASP.NET Core MVC. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using ASP.NET Core 1.1 MVC and Visual Studio 2017.

    Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 15 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in ASP.NET Core MVC, and will spend time only where appropriate.

    Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop a small e-commerce sample web site. You'll allow users to browse for products, and you'll also create a back-end where authenticated users will be able to list and edit products.

    Read this book, and you can code your ASP.NET Core MVC application using Visual Studio 2017 within a week.

    Arnaud Weil

    Arnaud Weil is a born developper: when he was a kid he was controlling his electric train using an Atari ST and some self-made electronics, then as a teenager created and distributed worldwide one of the first Web browsers for some of the first pocket computers, when the Web was just beginning. In fact, he loves coding. Then came .NET and from 2001 Arnaud has been coding using ASP.NET, WPF, WinForms, Silverlight, WCF, XAML for all kind of applications from factory tools to smarphone applications to house control solutions. When not coding, he teaches fellow developers and provides consulting for development teams to reach their targets in the most efficient way. His status as a freelancer allows him to help his clients with many different projects. As things move on, Arnaud also learned to love HTML5, JavaScript and all the great tools that allow building professional software with those technologies. He puts an emphasis on writing modular, clever programs using agile methods and a bunch of automated testing. But what Arnaud enjoys most is helping other developers: that's why he teaches, speaks, and began writing books.

      The Learn collection

      Introduction

      What this book is not

      I made my best to keep this book small, so that you can learn ASP.NET Core quickly without getting lost in petty details. If you are looking for a reference book where you’ll find answers to all the questions you may have within the next 4 years of your ASP.NET Core practice, you’ll find other heavy books for that.

      My purpose is to swiftly provide you with the tools you need to code your first ASP.NET Core application and be able to look for more by yourself when needed. While some authors seem to pride themselves in having the thickest book, in this series I’m glad I achieved the thinnest possible book for my purpose. Though I tried my best to keep all of what seems necessary, based on my 15 years experience of teaching .NET.

      I assume that you know what ASP.NET MVC is and when to use it. In case you don’t, read the following What is ASP.NET Core chapter.

      Prerequisites

      In order for this book to meet its goals, you must:

      Have basic experience creating applications with C#

      Have working knowledge of HTML

      Know what a Web application is

      How to read this book

      This book’s aim is to make you productive as quickly as possible. For this we’ll use some theory, several demonstrations, plus exercises. Exercises appear like the following:

      Do it yourself: Time to grab your keyboard and code away to meet the given objectives.

      Tools you need

      The only tool you’ll need to work through that book is Visual Studio 2017. You can get any of those editions:

      Visual Studio 2017 Community (free)

      Visual Studio 2017 Professional or Entreprise

      When installing Visual Studio, make sure you select the ASP.NET and .NET Core components.

      Source code

      All of the source code for the demos and do-it-yourself solutions is available at https://bitbucket.org/epobb/aspnetcoreexercises

      It can be downloaded as a ZIP file, or if you installed GIT you can simply type:

      git clone https://bitbucket.org/epobb/aspnetcoreexercis\

      es.git

      1. Why ASP.NET Core ?

      If you’re in a hurry, you can safely skip this chapter and head straight to the Creating our Web Site chapter. This Why ASP.NET Core chapter is there for those that want to know why ASP.NET Core should be used.

      1.1 What is it?

      In a nutshell, ASP.NET Core is a technology used to create Web applications.

      Web applications are used with a browser.
